Time Out says

You've heard of Night at the Museum but what about Night in the Library? On Saturday, March 14 kicking off at 7pm, the Brooklyn Public Library is bringing back its overnight festival inviting after-hours attendees to its central branch for talks, panels, workshops, and performances that celebrate the free flow of ideas in the company of others. Given that it's Pi Day, the theme of the evening will be, duh, The Philosophy of Mathematics, exploring truths, proofs and other paradoxes alongside less overtly math-y topics like poetry, psychology, nature and dreams. Among this installment's illustrious lecturers are filmmaker Werner Herzog, renowned psychologist Jamieson Webster, The Hours author Michael Cunningham and artist Paul Chan.
